its not like president cheeto called haiti a shit hole or anything
It's not like Trump helped turn it into one by screwing it over either. And Haiti is a shithole. Why the f*ck you think we got so many illegal migrant Haitians that came here after being up for deportation from the US? 'Cuz they dig the arctic climate?

Are Gin Boy and Danny Boy the same lunatic? Cuz that, Gin Boy, is Danny Boy's MO.
Doesn't Cliffy have a meme with someone else's words pretending to be so deep but are really just pretentious nonsense to post somewhere?

After reading a bit about this missile alert it seems unlikely to have been a mistake.


The latest conspiracy theory has Trump and some compliant Trumpadista planting the missile alert as part of the "art of some deal" or to otherwise leverage public opinion. I think that it is nonsense ...


... and yet, the old George Dubya administration played games like that. Remember the "alert" system?

"Orange Alert! Orange Alert! Colin Powell has satellite photos of milk trucks that we're obviously converted into bio-weapons factories!!"

"Red Alert!! Red Alert!! Positive Intel says Saddam's hand is hovering RIGHT OVER THE BIG RED LAUNCH BUTTON (in Arabic).

RED ALERT !!!"

... and the rubes ate it up. It didn't seem to occur to many just who was generating the alerts and why. It sure as hell wasn't based on any Intel of any kind, now was it?

Computer error! wrong key pressed on shift change.

There isn,t just one key or button it has to be sequential engagement of multiples I,m thinking. I would be very surprised if it weren,t. You wouldn,t permit that kind of potential chaos and the ensueing lawsuits I don,t think. Perhaps later this week we,ll hear just that with some panic injured civilians.
